The Universe Kept Sending Them the Same Message: Just Say Yes

June 26, 2025 • Emily Callaway

India shares her powerful story of healing from abusive relationships, embracing and celebrating her queer identity, and learning to trust her gut — and her friends, who had been hyping Alana for a year. When they finally meet, sparks fly, but the timing isn’t right — and India lives across the country. Still, the universe keeps pulling them together through a series of cosmic coincidences: a death at a wedding, a bucket-list race, and a series of matchmakers— some of whom are complete strangers. Through it all, the message is the same: Just Say Yes. This is a story of love, friendship, and the journey to connection through staying true to one’s authentic self.

Thank you to India & Alana for your vulnerability and openness to share your powerful love story.
